Good news for all you lucky engaged couples! Shannon Rosan is looking for a couple getting married in 2013 who is planning a unique wedding with loads of personality because she’s giving away an awesome wedding photography package!

The prize:

• 7 hours photography coverage with Shannon Rosan
• DVD of high-resolution images with printing rights (approximately 400-600 images)
• All travel costs included for weddings in the state of California (travel fees will apply to weddings outside of CA)
• Prize package is valued at $3,400!

Are you in it to win it?

I am looking for an engaged couple, getting married in 2013, who are planning a unique wedding filled with personality. A couple who is quirky, outgoing, has boundless love for one another and are not afraid to show it. A couple who loves to ham it up in front of the camera. A couple who has style, whether it be trendy, retro-chic, hipster, you name it. You love style and so do I. You stalk the latest fashion and wedding blogs and are on Pinterest till the wee hours. You also have a venue that is not your typical ballroom. A venue that is reflective of you and your love. Oh, and you love photography. Which probably goes without saying, but you also love photography that is emotive, playful, quirky and artistic. Which is perfect because that describes yours truly. ~ Shannon

Now, for the important stuff – the official rules:

• Send an email to shannonrosan@gmail.com with the following information:
• Tell Shannon your unique love story, who you and your fiancé are as individuals and as a couple, the vision for your wedding (Pinterest board links would be lovely) – the more personality, the better!
• A recent photo of you and your fiancé.
• List your 2013 wedding date and booked venue (you must have an exact date and booked venue during 2013 and wedding MUST be located outside of the Chico, CA area).
• SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 30, 2013

As a bonus, if you’re not selected as the final winner, you’re still eligible for a free 40-page wedding album if you book with Shannon Rosan for your 2013 wedding. Fun, right?

After the wedding is over, you can always preserve your wedding dress, but what if you could have a beautiful work of art to represent your gown for years to come? That’s what Forever Your Dress is all about! Artist Linda Lloyd creates one-of-a-kind pieces of art capturing all the details and beauty of your dress, and she’s generously giving one of our lucky readers the chance to win a custom illustration valued at $175!

Linda is both a fashion designer and illustrator, and Forever Your Dress combines her two passions! When you send photos of your dress, Linda will create an incredibly detailed (see below) high fashion illustration on acid-free bristol art board painted with water-based gouache. The fine details and outlines are added with Prisma colored pencils and graphite pencil, sometimes with metallic or pearlescent accents.

Linda can illustrate your wedding gown or a bridesmaid dress on a dress form (this style can include your bouquet, shoes and jewelry) or on a figure. You can see even more fabulous examples of her work in her portfolio.
